An evening with the girls

Just moments before bedtime, Kristine and Kaelynn were fooling about in the bedroom. Kristine's new trick is to climb up the boxes, either sing a song, shout or read a book before jumping down on to the matresses below. Once I got over the shock, I began to take photos of them. Then I realised, my Nikon D50 does not have multiple exposures. Sill, it was fun to play with the speed and flash.

Both of them have been eyeing theboxes for quite some time. Now Iknow why.

So, they start with singing some songsat the top of their lungs, or try to reada book before doing the jump

This is one of the better images ofKristine jumping. The pink blurbehind her was the first flash takenjust a split second before the jump

Someone got too excited and stepped on a sharp object

No sane kid would do this type of stunts at night and so,just to make sure, Mommy is checking for signs of braininside their skulls. None here, whatsoever, just wax.

And none here too. Very mysterious

Finally, Kaelynn got her own revenge for all the bad thingsKristine did to her. She jumped and sat on her elder sisterjust when she was about to go to sleep....
